Can I change Palworld settings without editing files?

Yes. Palworld settings in the Game Panel covers every PalWorldSettings.ini option, shows what will change and only touches what you edit.

Up to 32. If you need a different number of slots, open a ticket.

Can I install mods on my Palworld server?
